Good day.
I am grateful for the connections that I made yesterday. I am grateful for like minded people. I am grateful for mediums and their clear sight, sensing, knowing. I am grateful for gratitude practice. I am grateful for love, and purpose. I am grateful for honesty, kindness and faith.
Grateful for Sunday Funday and that I am able to just have a day of doing things at my own pace. Grateful for the perfect weather and spending some time outside. Grateful to be alive and living life sober. Grateful for this community that’s filled with great people 
I am grateful for the weekend. I’m grateful for lovely ripe, juicy cherries. I’ve eaten so many. I’m grateful for the Libby app so I can check out books from the library and download them on my Kindle. I’m grateful it’s in the 80s today instead of 105 of a couple days ago. Grateful for you all sharing your hearts 
Grateful for the recipes on the internet. I’m making my lentil soup today, and the recipe (and how to make the parts, like the mirepoix flavour base) is all stuff I learned from recipe notes and chef shares online:
Grateful for my wife, who is doing regular meditation work recently and it is showing up in how we have been communicating over the last few weeks.
Grateful for my recovery group and for my sponsor especially, all of whom have taught me many useful skills I am using today in my recovery toolbox.
@acromouse Turnip was my first guess when I saw it. Apparently my dad used to grow these where I grew up but I don’t ever remember seeing one. Some veggies I like better raw and some cooked, so I’ll try both ways.
Today I’m grateful for
-Being out of work and having tomorrow off
-My daughter going to her friend’s so I could have a short nap and some quiet time
-The metal garage band I’ve heard practicing every Sunday for the last 6 years
-Comfortable weather
-Sleeping well the past 3 nights from working so much
-My chiropractor that I’ll be seeing tomorrow
-The bar manager who told our manager the truth about how miserable she’s making all her employees and that she needs to back off and let us do our jobs
-The fact our manager has left us alone the past couple days (and the job still got done 
)
-My sobriety
-Clear thoughts
I’m grateful I was able to find the gratitude thread from 16 hours ago. I’m grateful even though I am headachy my back doesn’t hurt.
I’m grateful for my coffee. I’m grateful I got to bed early last night. I’m grateful we have no workers scheduled in the house this week. YET 
I’m grateful it will be a phone call day to get other things done and scheduled. Therapy. And trying real hard to cook a dinner at home. Some exercise, besides walking the burner, would be nice too.
I’m grateful I can putter around and put things here and there in their places and organize other things.
I’m grateful to see the sunshine out back this morning for a minute. And grateful to see the fog rolling in out front this morning. I’m grateful I thought we’d have a sunny day but Mother Nature seems to think otherwise.
I’m grateful I got my spa fired up yesterday and took a soak. And even work in the spa clearing the over growth from the garden that was hanging into the water.
I’m grateful Benson and I made it a spa afternoon on the chaise lounge for a couple of hours of relaxation.
I’m grateful I get to post here with y’all.

Today I’m feeling grateful to be in a foreign city about to reconnect with an old colleague I am very fond of. I wish he still worked for me. Maybe after we meet today he might do so again, you just never know.
I have stopped checking in on the daily checkin thread as I don’t like counting the days go by. If we are lucky then on average we get about 30,000 days and I don’t want to check them off any more.
I feel like I am released from the control that alcohol had over me. Something that has taken several years of work, of false starts, of trying again, of support from the amazing community here. Of getting the fuck back up when I knocked my self down again. I don’t want to count the days going by any more… I just want to live one day at a time and count the blessings I am lucky enough to have. I hope that makes sense.
I’m grateful for a relaxing day and easy traveling today. I’m grateful for a good time and conversation with my friend. I’m grateful for visiting one of my favorite places today and showing it to my friend. I’m grateful for laughter and meeting new people. I’m grateful for good food and tea. I’m grateful for how tired I am tonight and for getting the chance to check in and write these gratitudes out.
Thank you for this day 
Today I am grateful for:
I am grateful for this day.
Sleep tight sober friends 
I have an interesting one today. The past 4 years I have been having to go to a not great dentist office because that’s who my insurance covered. We got new insurance at work and I found out they cover a different office. This office is full of really nice and caring people. I went last month to get checked out and because the other office wasn’t doing proper cleaning (like they would just scrap a tooth or two and say I was done) I am having to have deep cleaning and scaling done. Today, the hygienist did my right side. It was uncomfortable and took a long time but she was thorough and the dentist numbed me up really good. I am so grateful that my insurance covers this new office and I can get my teeth back on track. I even told the hygienist that I was so grateful during the cleaning 
I am grateful.
Drive with spouse not terribly horrible today. Pretty sure praying helped.
Surgery recovery not so painful today
A nice running comfortable car.
A familiar place to stay when traveling.
For God staying so very close during my sober journey
I am grateful so many Talking Sober friends know what to say and how to answer questions from new comers and those that are really struggling. (I am too new to sobriety to offer advice only a presence to vent to)
I’m keeping it simple today. I am grateful for food in my fridge. I am grateful I have a fridge in a safe home. I am grateful that I am alive and healthy. I am grateful for lemon cookies and coffee.
I will join @TrustyBird and just keep it simple. Today I’m grateful I woke up and was able to contribute. Grateful to have a roof over my head and a bed to sleep in tonight.
Good evening.
I am grateful that G had a good sleep in my bed last night, that his restless leg didnt keep him awake. I am grateful that he was here to wake up and work with my dad. I am grateful he doesnt get too offended when he finds me on the couch in the morning. I am grateful I have somewhere to escape his snoring.
I am grateful that I had nothing to do tonight but take care of me so I have been laying in bed since 6. I have been having a flare up for weeks and just havent been able to shake it. I am grateful that the pain I get is managed pretty well with medication. And I am grateful for the random breakthroughs of excruciating pain that remind me of where I used to be.
I am grateful for meditation and how it allows me to positivly disassociate from my uncomfortable, exhausted body. I want to meditate all day long. I am grateful that I can take small bites of my days for the next week.
Night night friends. 
I am grateful that
-My kitty girl kept me warm all night long
-I had the day off and could lay around doing nothing
-My kitty boy wanted to do the same
-I still managed to cook a nice dinner and get to the dishes
-I started getting a headache on my way to the chiropractor and she was able to fix it before it got worse
-My daughter finally agreed to watch a childhood favorite, Fern Gully, with me
-I’m going to listen to my body and go to bed early
I’m grateful for the time I spent with my grandkids today. They are my world. While my job is stressful
, I’m grateful for it. It affords me the life I enjoy. A safe home, air conditioning, a comfortable bed and the ability to take care of my fur babies.
Grateful for my sponsor, who talked me through some complex stuff yesterday.
Grateful for my cats, who are always good companions when I’m home.
Grateful for having access to safe food and water, both of which I use every day in cooking (which I love).

I’m grateful for today being slower paced and more relaxed. I’m grateful that this trip went so well. I’m grateful for a beautiful sunset tonight and for being able to play with some dogs (I am missing mine while away). I’m grateful my dogs are being taken care of and that my dog sitter sends me pictures of them. I’m grateful for my friend and that she has also had a good trip. I’m grateful for how tired I am tonight am hoping that means a good sleep. I’m grateful for the fan and a real shower.
Good morning @Cjp
I’m grateful my dogs use to love peanut better for their pills. I’m grateful for Greenies Pill Pockets.
I’m grateful Alice is on my lap.
I’m grateful I already had my coffee.
I’m grateful I sleep good. Real good 
I’m grateful I’m over the funk I had about a loved one’s drinking. I’m grateful for all my recovery efforts, but sometimes I’m just gonna feel sad and lonely about the situation. And you know what? It’s not a relapse. I’m grateful I use to think it was. It’s just sad. And I can feel sad and lonely and still be happy. Holy shit!! I can? Ya I can!! I’m grateful I don’t feel resentment or anger. I’m grateful I’m not

I’m grateful today is going to be another great day as long as I don’t pick up.
I’m grateful I got a chiropractor appointment this afternoon. I’m grateful my Scottsdale chiropractor has a network on Facebook and recommended someone here 15 minutes away who uses the technique I want.
I’m grateful for a week of getting established like chiropractor appointments and bug guy. I’m grateful I got an AV guy coming tomorrow. I’m grateful the AV guys are much more fun than plumbers.
I’m grateful I’m going to hit up 2 Al-anon meetings this weekend. 9 am men’s group. And grateful I found a book study Sunday afternoon. They read from Opening Our Hearts Transforming Our Losses. I love that Al-Anon book. It’s full of real life stories of experience, strength, and hope, about people who love addicts.
I’m grateful the Catio officially opened yesterday. And it was a beautiful day sitting out there relaxing in the morning and after my first home cooked meal. I’m grateful for chances to relax around here after the stressors of moving into a new home.
I’m grateful for people from Scottsdale that have reached out to me. I’m grateful I’ve reached out to others and it’s going to make me reach out to my sponsor. I’m grateful I don’t know what to say to my sponsor that I left behind in Scottsdale and it seems to me like I’ve left him hanging. He hasn’t bothered me since I left. Which is nice. I’m grateful instead of just letting it die I will reach out and give him a call and see what happens. I’m grateful I’m not use to this stuff. I’m grateful it’s uncomfortable so I guess I can ask my higher power for help and guidance and do what I feel is right.
I’m grateful for y’all.
